uuendub

Uuendub is an Estonian verb meaning “to be updated” or “gets updated.” It is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb uuendada (to update). The infinitive is uuendada; related noun forms include uuendus (an update) and uuendamine (updating).

In usage, uuendub describes something undergoing an update, such as software, data, or content, often in automatic or periodic update processes. It is common in technical writing, user interfaces, and documentation. For example, the sentence "Veebileht uuendub iga tund" means that the webpage is updated every hour, and "Tarkvara uuendub automaatselt" indicates that the software updates itself automatically. The form is typically used with inanimate subjects.

Morphology and related forms: besides uuendub, Estonian speakers use uuendatakse to express the passive “is updated,” and uuendamine or uuendus to refer to the act or result of updating. These related forms are used in more formal or noun-like constructions, such as specifications, release notes, or changelogs.

Etymology: the verb derives from uuenda-, the stem of uuendada, with standard Estonian present-tense endings. It belongs to the class of verbs that describe undergoing a change or process rather than initiating it themselves.
